You're very fortunate to have that 3Rensho. I always drool over my friend's Zunow.

My one and only track bike was a 3Rensho, one of the red ones with a "Stiffener" tube from the chainstays to the seat stays following the radius of the rear tire, I actually give away that bike to a friend when I left Colombia, man what a dummy..

Ahh Keirin bikes...

I'm fortunate to have a good friend that happens to be Japanese. He used to travel from the states back to the motherland fairly often and when he did go back, he sometimes brought me back something. On one occasion it was that silver 3Rensho. Other times...

Check out the Yamaguchi again. Between the seat stays and the seat tube. There's just a little more than 5mm clearance with a 20mm tire and that particular gearing (48x15). The seat tube also tapers from a 29mm outer diameter (up top by the seatpost clamp) to 50mm at the bottom bracket shell.

In order to get to the last few bikes in the room, I have to clear out everything before I can get to those bikes.

Well time to rethink things a little, what about hanging them..?

Yep Brooklyn Machine Works. I worked for them for a spell. 1 of BMWs is a park bike, the other a mini link. Here's the mini link

Does bikes are really strange, as weird as the other BMW's

Ps: I love the pedals..

I like that Maverick stuff, too. I don't have a fork, would like the single crown and have been keeping an eye out for one. I've got a Maverick style frame, though. I haven't ridden a lot of different suspension bikes, but I like it. I'd like to try a DW-link bike sometime.

The SC32 like this one are really hard to find and they go for a lot of money since they fit fat bike tires and is almost no suspension fork available for them..

I ended up moving the fork to my Foes but then I started having problems with it. I'd be out riding when all of a sudden the seals would blow and I'd have to finish the ride without a front brake cause of all the weeping oil running down the legs. After repairing the fork 3 times and going though 3 sets of Hope brake pads inside of a month, I had enough so I sold it even though the stanchions were pristine.

I've had a couple of upside down forks (Marzocchi Shiver on the BWM, and a Dorado on my dh bike) and never had seal problems. I was kind of bitter too since Maverick didn't help me out on the frame (cracked the headtube).

Now you can get "improved" seal holders that in theory they don't pop out, so far I have problems with mine, but I have read the stories..

I have two shiver's my self, a SC and a DC, they are so heavy but they actually work really well plus they are so cool, I always want a Dorado in fact I almost purchase a SC before I got the DUC32..

Yeah is pretty sad when company's mess you up like that, specially with such expensive frame..
